The Cirrus SR20 is equipped with parachute system, which greatly enhances the safety.

On 12th May, a training airplane of CAFUC made a forced landing in Xin’an, Luoyang City. Thanks to the parachute system in SR20, no death reported.

It has been a controversial issue over whether small airplane should be equipped with parachute. It was because of the parachute system that no one was dead in the accident. Most of the light airplanes are not equipped with parachute system. There has always been voice in the aviation field that light and ultra light airplanes bear good takeoff and landing performance, and have good gliding performance. There is no need to equip the parachute on the airplanes for they can land safely on the road or other even surface due to perfect gliding performance.

Persons without parachute training can get hurt. Some airplane, like SR20, changed the design of equipping the parachute to persons but to the airplane. In case of accident, the risks of being dead or getting hurt decreased by the parachute system.

SR20 can accommodate four passengers with its unique CAPS, which can help to save lives of crew member and passengers in case of emergency.
